Does anyone have any information - plans, sketches, photos, techniques - on how they constructed the City of Tomorrow that used to be at the core of World of Motion? I know that it took up the whole two floors of the building, but that is it.

No. On the World of Motion ride, after you went through the speedrooms, you ended up at the center of the building. and the cars turned to face into the center of a circle. There was this city of the future construction - it wasn't so much and actualy model, as a gian visual effect. there were a bunch of moving lights to represent moving vehicles, these things that would travel up and down - it was pretty good sized. The buildings as such were pretty indefinite - I think they used some kind of mesh with lights shown on it.
Most people don't even remember it, I thiought it was one of the most fantastic effects they had made, but maybe I am delerious or something. Problem was being mostly a lighting effect pictures and videos don't really show much of it.
The ride is capped of by a glipse of the future. Vehcles descend around the CenterCore, a depiction of the city of tomorrow, which uses the full height (60ft) of the building. The city is created with fiber optics, liquid-neon, projectors, and advanced lighting technologies.

The buildings do appear to be wire mesh - white or a light colour (so the UV picks em out)
I will find some grabs from my video (its was SVHS so hopefully there is a bit more detail) and will post them tomorrow - so not to incur the wrath of my girlfriend....
I will put a post here when they are up.
